Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has apologised after BJP distanced itself from her "farm laws" comment.
Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood actress and BJP MP from Mandi, has apologised for her recent "farm laws" remark. Kangana Ranaut's apology comes hours after BJP distanced herself from her comments on the controversial laws. In the latest entertainment news, Kangana Ranaut said that she "regrets" her comment on the three farm laws that were at the centre of the farmer's protest in 2020. For the unversed, speaking to reporters in her Lok Sabha constituency of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut had said that the three farm laws, rolled back by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in November 2021, "should be brought back" and "farmers themselves should demand it."
Releasing a video statement, Kangana Ranaut said, "I have to keep in mind that I am not just an artist but also a BJP worker. My opinions should not be personal and should be the party's stand. I regret and take my words back if my comments have disappointed someone."

Earlier, BJP's spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia had said that Kangana Ranaut's remarks are her "personal statement."
"Kangana Ranaut is not authorised to make such a statement on behalf of the BJP and it doesn't depict the BJP's view on the farm bills," Bhatia said.
Kangana Ranaut also responded to Bhatia's statement, saying, "My views on farm laws are personal and they don't represent the party's stand on those Bills."

For the unversed, Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film 'Emergency' is already fighting for a censor certificate.
The actress has already been reprimanded once by the BJP. Last month, she was pulled up by the party over her remarks on the farmers' protests. The actress had said that a "Bangladesh-like situation" could have erupted in India during the farmers' protests if strong measures were not taken by the Centre.
Back in 2020, as the farmers' protests were gathering momentum, Kangana Ranaut allegedly misidentified a woman farmer from Punjab and called her Bilkis Bano.
